A DIMINISHED LOVE        Friday   June 5, 2015

Text: Revelation 2:1 – 7            Memory verse: v 4

Love binds a man and woman together in marriage. When the commitment to that love is misplaced, failure in vows made, infidelity, quarrels, etc will set in. If such is not tackled immediately it is noticed, the marriage may end up in divorce. 

Jesus is married to the church. He paid the price with His blood with the expectation that the Church should be faithful, submissive, obedient and loyal to Him. He noticed that the Church at Ephesus had left their first love for Him and He cautioned them in a bid to draw them back to Himself to avoid divorce. They have not maintained the ardor and devotion of the love of their earlier history. Nothing but the fervent love of the Bride can satisfy the Bridegroom. Jesus cautioned them to note where they had fallen (2:5).

What is the level of your love for Christ? Is it the same as at the time you accepted him as your Lord and Saviour? Know that Jesus sees and knows everything about us. He knows those who are sincere in their walk with him. Therefore, search yourself now to know if your love for Him has diminished. You can easily know based on your commitment to His service, prayer and study life

Food for Thought: Before God can deliver us from our sins; we must free ourselves from deception.

Prayer: Lord, rekindle my love for you and help me to be faithful, obedient and loyal to my commitment to you in Jesus name.
